Entertaining but silly

Rating: 6/10 (12 August 2013)

Sometimes I complain about critics butchering good and entertaining Movies saying it lacks this and that. I have Always pointed out that the goal of Movies is to entertain, but if you can convey a moral message or inspire someone to do something good...well that's fine too.
Plot: skyscraper sized beasts of unknown origin attacks Earth forcing mankind to cooperate to overcome them. The result is mega sized robots controlled by a two man team.
The storyline is so thin it is almost impossible to comprehend. Since I Watch loads of Movies I wouldn't say that story lines like this is super rare but Close enough.
The acting is, well, not Oscar material if you get my drift and neither is the dialog. However, Idris Elba (Prometheus) is good as Always and it is nice to see Charlie Hunnam in something different from Sons of Anarchy.
I had absolutely no expectations on this Movie and I thought it was just going to be pure Entertainment. And I was right too. But as Entertainment for the moment it works and the Entertainment is high class all the way, surprisingly so. I Thought the fighting scenes were pretty good and cool and it was what saved the Movie for me.
What I would like to see more of in a separate Movie or wanted to have seen more of in the Movie is the theme of connecting to minds into one, I Think there is a good story for a Movie there.
See this one if you like Transformers and Godzilla. Do not see this Movie if you are craving sophisticated Movies with depth or looking for a Movie to write an essay on.
I give it 6 out 10 which is somewhat over the top, but the battle scenes and robots fighting beasts is pretty cool so...
